The General Studies LL.M. Program is distinctive in its flexibility and breadth of offerings. Students design their own curriculum in keep- ing with their specific goals and interests, pursuing a cohesive and focused program of study. Optional concentrations are offered in three areas: Corporate, Commercial and Securities Law; Alternative Dispute Resolution; and International and Comparative Law.
Columbia offers a general LL.M. program for students who, having earned a first law degree, wish to pursue advanced studies in furtherance of careers in teaching, public service, or the international practice of law. The program enrolls approx. 250 students from more than 50 jurisdictions, with experience spanning all areas of the legal profession—academia, the judiciary, public service, civil rights and human rights advocacy, NGOs, international organizations, and private practice.
The LL.M. program in International Business and Trade Law prepares lawyers to meet the challenges of an increasingly global economy by giving them the knowledge and training needed to handle complex transnational transactions that define the current legal and business environment.
The LL.M. in American Legal Studies program is for foreign law graduates who want legal training in U.S. law and practice in order to compete more effectively with U.S. law firms operating in foreign countries. The program helps to qualify a candidate for eligibility to sit for the New York State Bar Examinations and to be admitted to practice law in New York.
St. John’s offers a LL.M. specifcally for foreign law school graduates seeking to prepare for the New York Bar Examination. The LL.M. in U.S. Legal Studies is fully accredited by the New York State Department of Education and the American Bar Association. The program is open to graduates of foreign law schools who demonstrate academic achieve- ment comparable to that of U.S. law school graduates.
Brooklyn Law School’s LL.M. program provides foreign-trained lawyers with the knowledge needed to master American legal discourse, to practice law in the United States, and to enhance their lawyering skills for practice in their home countries. The rich intellectual experience extends beyond the classroom, as the opportunities for scholarly engagement are virtually limitless.
